Best Odds: 13/2
Bookmaker: Betfair
Leeds United and Nottingham Forest will face each other at Elland Road in the Premier League next week. The match will be held at Elland Road and is scheduled to kick off at 8pm UK time next Monday.
Leeds United
Leeds United are ninth in the Premier League table at the moment with eight points from six matches. The West Yorkshire outfit are expected to be among the clubs fighting for survival in the top flight of English football this season, but they are currently doing relatively well.
Jesse Marsch’s side will head into the match against Nottingham Forest at Elland Road on the back of a 5-2 defeat to Brentford away from home in the Premier League. It was arguably the worst performance from Leeds this season. The Whites are going through a tricky spell at the moment. They have not won a competitive match since August 24 when they beat Barnsley 3-1 at Elland Road in the EFL Cup.
Team News:
Patrick Bamford is likely to lead the line for Leeds United. The England international striker has recovered from his injury problems. Jack Harrison should also start, while Illian Meslier will be between the posts for the West Yorkshire club.
Nottingham Forest
Nottingham Forest won promotion from the Championship to the Premier League at the end of last season. Steve Cooper’s side were very busy in the summer transfer window and signed essentially an entire squad.
Forest, though, are expected to be among the clubs who are aiming to avoid relegation to the Championship. The Reds are not doing particularly well in the Premier League at the moment. Cooper’s side are second from bottom in the league now with four points from six matches, level on points with 17th-placed Aston Villa.
Team News:
Brennan Johnson is likely to lead the line for Nottingham Forest. Jesse Lingard and Morgan Gibbs-White will be the two creative players behind him.
Key Factors to Consider
- Leeds United have scored 10 goals in 6 Premier League matches.
- Nottingham Forest have scored 4 goals in 6 Premier League matches.
- Leeds United have conceded 10 goals in 6 Premier League games.
- Nottingham Forest have conceded 14 goals in 6 Premier League games.
- Leeds United have lost 2 out of 6 Premier League matches this season.
Conclusion
Nottingham Forest are still settling down as a team, while Leeds United are more advanced and are likely to win the match. Now, there is a chance that the Reds could score a goal or two, but it is very likely that the West Yorkshire club will find the back of the net more than Cooper’s team and eventually pick up all three points from the encounter.
